And it doesn’t even feel like that long. Though, my body has changed a lot in that time. Speaking of which…

“Missing the Window”

A few months before starting on Nutrisystem, I bought a new pair of jeans at Old Navy. I picked out the pair I always did: “The Flirt”, short leg length, size 18. But, for some reason, these 18s were way too tight. I could fit into other 18s just fine (even in this exact same style), but not these.

I set them aside with the plan of wearing them once I lost some weight.
Once I started Nutrisystem in April, 2011, it had already become shorts and skirt weather. I don’t like wearing full-length jeans unless the weather is cold. Still, I kept those size 18s in the back of my mind. I didn’t want to miss the window of opportunity when I’ve lost enough weight to fit into them but not so much that they’re too big.

Fast forward to this week. The weather is cold again (sad panda) and it’s time to bust out the long pants. I pull on those too-tight size 18 Old Navy jeans and…

…they are way too big.

I needed a belt, and I hate belts. And even with a belt, they were super baggy around my lower tummy, thighs and butt. I missed the window! These new pants never got to be worn. First they were too tight. And now they are too big.

I’ve been on Nutrisystem for 10 days now and have lost 7 pounds already. I watched your youtube video for newbies, which I enjoyed, and was happy to see the success that you’ve had. It’s very inspiring! My goal is 30 pounds and I can’t believe how easy it’s been so far. I wish I would’ve done this years ago. I still need to check out the “free foods.”
